To all whom it may concern.- A

Be it known that I, J ONES WISTER, a citizen of the United States,residing inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a Combined OilStove and Lamp, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide an oil orvapor burning stovewith an attachment whereby it can be used also as a lamp. This object Iattain in the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, the figure in which represents in vertical sectiona combined oil stove and by the stove.

lamp constructed in accordance with my invention.

1 represents the fountain, and 2 the burner, of an oil or vapor stove ofany appropriate character capable of producing a Bunsen flame at theburner. Projecting above the fountain of the stove are strips 3, whichhave lugs 3, constituting the ordinary supports for the kettle, pan, orother vessel to be heated The strips 3 also have projecting lugs 4, andupon the latter rests a chimney 5 of glass or other transparent materialand of any suitable height above the lugs 3,

this chimney supporting a perforated hood 6, from which depends awire 7,carrying amantle 9, which is to be rendered incandescent by the heatfrom the burner 2, the lower end of this mantle fitting into a tube 10,which is supported upon the burner 2 in any available manner. A spaceequal to the thickness of the strip 3 intervenes between the chimney 5and the fountain of the lamp, through-which space passes the air tosupport combustion at the burner. v

By means of the chimney 5,extending above the supports 3 for the cookingvessel and provided with a hood 6, the heat of the burner is so confinedthat no difficulty will be experienced in heating the mantle 9 to theproper condition of high incandescence, the chimney and its hood, withdepending mantle, however, being readily applied or removed withoutchange in any part of the stove structure. Hence the latter can bereadily adapted for use as a lamp or as readily restored to service as astove. The hood 6 is preferably formed with a dished or concave centerand a flat ring, so that it is available as a supplementary support fora kettle or other culinary vessel when it is desired 'to use thestructure both as a lamp and a stove, the waste products of combustionfrom the mantle 9 in this case escaping partially through theperforations of the hood and partially beneath the edges of the same, soas to heat the vessel placed upon the hood.

Having thus described my invention, I

ent 7 1: The combination of a stove having a burner from which theheating-flame issues, supports for mounting a cooking vessel above saidburner, a mantle supported above the burner and extending above thesupports of the cooking vessel, a chimney surrounding said mantle, and ahood above said chimney and adjacent to the upper end of the mantle,substantially'as specified.

' 2. The combination of a stove having a burner from which theheating-flame issues, supports for mounting a cooking vessel above saidburner, a chimney extending above said supports, a hood supported uponsaid chimney, and a mantle depending from said hood and supported abovethe burner of the stove in a position adjacent to the hood,substantially as specified.

3. The combination of a stove having a burner from which theheating-flame issues, supports for mounting a cooking vessel above saidburner, a mantle supported above the burner and extending above saidsupports for the cooking vessel, a chimney surrounding said mantle, anda perforated hood above said chimney and adjacent to the upper end ofthe mantle, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
